    In 1997, I attended the Primary Leadership Development Course (PLDC) to become a Sergeant. In one of the classes I learned there were two types of courage. Physical courage and moral courage. Physical courage putting you life at risk and moral courage is standing up for what is right. Physical courage will earn you medals and moral courage will earn you enemies.

    PBS Frontline, I love you, and I recommend you to everyone for the quality of interviews you share with us, and the key people you choose to interview. You don't even tell us exactly what to think, you let us listen to primary sources. Your series about Putin made me feel so refreshed on the recent history of the state of affairs with Russia (you don't hear the news reminding you the context and nuances that we're so quick to forget when analyzing the present), and I'm so thrilled to see this series published.

But Adam cared so much about January 6th that he didn't want to be on the committee. You people keep praising these republicans for doing what's right make yourselves look sad. The republicans are the problem in our country and Trump is just their mouthpiece. But if you think Adam's policies and what he says yes and no 2 are any different than Donald Trump, you're crazy. Adam is very disingenuous

      He was an F-16 fighter pilot. Those things have one engine, and limited backup power for flight controls and electricity. Sitting in one is like a bathtub; there's not a lot of room to stretch out or take a piss. Adam was used to pressure and discomfort. Ejecting from one of those is similar to bailing off a motorcycle that's going 40 mph, or being thrown off a galloping horse; but with the added risk of cavitating your eyeballs and sinuses with air rushing at 300+ mph. He has demonstrable courage and integrity. I would be proud to say I crewed his jet; I'm almost certain I did not.
      Liz Cheney evokes similar feelings of respect and inspiration / admiration.

You have been conned by Agent Orange into thinking he really cares for America. In truth the only hing he cares about is Agent Orange. He lies more than any government official ever in the history of our country. He uses the same words Hitler used even though he, by his own admission, has never read Mein Kampf. I'm pretty sure that's one of the few truths he has ever told because I doubt he as ever read a book. He has suggested the suspension of the constitution to get his way. There is almost a constant stream of BS emanating from him. He is a wannabe dictator by his own admission. His handling of the COVID pandemic was reprehensible. He promoted unproven treatments and undermined public health guidelines. Additionally, there were controversies surrounding the distribution of medical supplies and the politicization of mask-wearing and vaccination efforts which he is responsible for. He suggested injecting bleach into our body to cure COVID. WTF? The January 6th insurrection is prime example of his lack of care for our country and our democracy. He did nothing for hours while people were dying defending our capital from the MAGA heads who were sent there by Orange himself. "Go to the capital and fight like hell" This what he told his mob of MAGAs..The reason he waited so long to do anything is he wanted to see if his mob would be successful in stopping the election certification. Maybe by hanging Mike Pence?? His crazy response to the election results are the epitome of his lack of concern for our democracy. He lost 60 court cases trying to prove fraud. Some of the presiding judges were appointed by Orange himself. He spreads unproven conspiracy theories and people believe them. It must be mass hypnosis that convinces people that this narcissistic playground bully is the right man for the job of president.

    Wow Adam. Wish that we had more young men like you! You definitely would be a sensational US president. Don’t ever leave politics! We need you!

    Mr. Kinzinger has always been extremely honest about his personal feelings, much more so than any of the other republicans who oppose Trump. A truly courageous man.

    Thank you Mr. Kinzinger for speaking out for me, for those who are feeling the threat of losing Democracy.

    I’ve heard the story from Adam a few times on a few different shows, and every time I hear it, it is still just so compelling and alarming; to think so many men and women, who promised to take care of the people that voted them in only to utterly betray them, I can only think of one thing to say “May They Reap What They Have Sown”

    Looking at someone who hopefully could be president of this country someday. I was always Republican, now independent, my respect.

    As an overseas viewer, I am not a politician, but I predict that Adam Kinzinger will one day be America's president.
